Hair splitting.

The Plame incident was allegedly about the abuse of power by the government in leaking confidential information to punish an employee.

The ATF incident is allegedly about the abuse of power by the government in leaking confidential information to punish an employee.

In neither case is/was the alleged abuse committed by private citizens exercising their first amendment rights in criticizing a government employee.

To be intellectually consistent, if you outraged by the Plame matter, you should be outraged by the latest incident.
